Anyone ready to dish some mad smackdown yet on all this I/O bull-shiznicky? I want to hear it.@107022061436866576067 has been following this, and I know @105475484427213195749 has a few good snarky words to say...
If anyone wants to jump on and give their mad verbal review, just let me know in the comments below. Also, indicate a time that's good for you. This is completely impromptu and needs no polish. I'd just like to dish with *YOU*.
We may even have the event-reporter himself joining us... yep, I'm talking about @102572320061138442096.=)

*The Medium is Not the Message*
Many of you are familiar with the phrase: _"The medium is the message"_ coined by Canadian media guru *Marshall McLuhan* in the early ‘60’s.
It was a revolutionary idea.
At that time, the “media” he was referring to was television - a relatively new guest in our living rooms.
He believed that the medium was embedded in the message and therefore we should be the focus of study.
_“A medium affects the society in which it plays a role not only by the content delivered over the medium, but also by the characteristics of the medium itself.”_
_*Are we too attached to our favourite platforms?*_
_*Is Facebook having a similar impact on how we act and communicate?*_
_*Are we paying too much attention and investing too many resources on various social platforms?*_
With the advent of social media, we have been so busy mastering the tools and platforms that we talk more about and seem to CARE more about what’s on our tool belt than we do about what we're trying to fix or create.
In the ongoing _"Forbes: 5 Reasons Google+ Died"_ discussion, (http://goo.gl/xX9CCl) @107022061436866576067 sums up his post: with these wise words:
_*“We can like something, even be a fan of it, we can find great personal value in something, but we need to keep our rational, objective evaluation abilities intact. That's especially important if other people look to us for marketing advice.”*_
Those of us who bear the slings and arrows of ridicule over our choice of Google+ as our favourite social platform have developed a siege mentality and all too quickly circle the wagons when attacked.
We’re the Glee club dodging “Slushies” in the school hallways.
I admit I’m one of those who has championed Google+ and while I continue to do so, I am much less personally invested in it.
I use it for it’s strengths, not just because it’s Google+.
Marketers have to be platform agnostic and a client believer.
What do you think?
Do our personal medium preferences influence our client’s marketing messages?

Tomorrow I will be joined by @112643716740116237079 (*CEO* of @104969075953822863645 and *Marketing Manager* for @111193894818128580437 ) and @114484033114078184702 (*Digital Strategist* at *Broadsuite* and host of *#MCEOtalk*); both will be giving us an insight into what is new and exciting in the *social media world*.

*Join us as we talk about Open-Mindedness on the Softer Side of Business HOA Season of #CoreValues *
*Open-Mindedness* Many of us think we are open minded. I am sure most of us could be more open to new ideas and ways of thinking. One of my (@104641199698156385999 ) favorite experiences had to do with this weeks guest @107022061436866576067. He had been spammed by someone new to Google+ and instead of just ignoring the situation he decided to take a few minutes to help this new Plusser learn what is expected here on #ThePlus . I have since seen Mark do this very thing and have learned from his example. This week as we explore the past present and future of Open-Mindedness we will be enlightened by one of the most peaceful men on the Plus.

Network Round Table is back for the Season of Values!
Core values are as vital as goals to our success. If we are a #solopreneur #SmallBusinessOwner #entrepreneur or part of one of the #fortune500companies we need core values to help us chart our course. Season three of NWRT will be all about the values we hold to and how we can uncover them to get a clearer picture of where we are going.
Dennis used the Personal Values cards from @116334022689184391623 to create this list of Core Values. If you want your own card deck go to http://goo.gl/t6Jryo
So #SuperTroopers keep the comments coming and help us create a show that will educate you about each of the 23 values we have selected to cover this season.
*Open Mindedness*
Is Open-Mindedness one of your core values? If not could you benefit by making it one? If it already is why did you choose this to be one of your core values.
Get the conversation started on the event page, and of course, post any questions you'd like to have answered during the show!
This season our #TeamTroupers includes (in no particular order):

Open-Mindedness in Business with #PlusOneSuperHero Mark Traphagen on NWRT #CoreValues

*Does My Small Business Website Need A Blog?*
More and more craft beverage businesses are popping up across the USA, as the industry continues to experience growth. Craft Breweries alone are opening at a record pace of 1.5 per day. Craft coffee roasters aren't too far behind.
That means *NEW* websites being created everyday. As you peruse the fresh flood of craft websites, there is a disturbing pattern: Either they have no blog, OR a neglected blog - often not updated with new content for months at a time.
To help us answer the question, *Does My Small Business Website Need A Blog?*, we are excited to have Craft Beverage Jobs friend and follower @107022061436866576067 joining us today. Mark is the Senior Director of Online Marketing for @115515796589038584989 and an expert in content marketing.
*The 3 questions Mark will answer for us today:*
1. What will having a blog on my website accomplish for my business?
2. I'm busy running my business and I'm not a writer. Where am I supposed to get content for my blog?
3. OK, I've got a blog and I've got content, what next?
Hope you will join us!

I will be joined by Copyblogger's founder @109193674823031718540 for a 45 mins interview on the subject of 'Authority'.
Brian has influenced a lot of decisions relating to Plus Your Business, including the shape of the website, and the business model that is emerging too, so I am especially excited. (Thanks @113690073826160821557 for connecting us.)
Brian and the Copyblogger site are an authority on many things when you look at Google Search results, including 'Content Marketing', so this will be perfect for all you higher level Academy members out there too.
We will have a short window for questions so let me know beforehand and I'll do my best to ask.
See you then!

*Who Are You? The Micro HOA that answers that simple question along with the 3 Whys*
Who are you? Why? Why? Why? it seems like a simple exercise but the depth of insightfulness is profound. When we ask these questions of our weekly guests we end up with insight into who they are that we normally do not receive in the course of social media engagement. We also find the the guests learn things about themselves. Please for your own safety and the welfare of those you love *DO TRY THIS AT HOME!*

Bill and Ammon ( @106515636986325493284 and @113426828273677356184 ) reprise their role as the "Wyld Stallyns" of SEO, with bodacious babe @101280116286631896187 helping wrangle comments, and stop them chasing squirrels. (okay, a more realistic goal: prevent them chasing too many squirrels).
About *Bill and Ammon's Bogus Hangout*
This is not a polished, planned and scripted event. This is a casual hangout with old friends and new, shared with all. Somewhere around the halfway point, we'll post the link for anyone who wishes to come and join us (space permitting) allowing us to meet even more old and new friends.﻿
The idea of pre-planning, a set topic, or even simply knowing who will be on the show this week? All totally *bogus*.

@117280999720765084191 will be here to help with all thing tech, and we are exploring some cool ideas for HOAs over the coming months...

I've been on my own personal journey relating to branding, community, trust, authority, friendship and putting on a show (and when not to), and would love for you to be part of it.
If you would like an open dialogue about what works and what doesn't on Google+ then this is the place to be on Thursday 2pm EST.
This is the start to the next wave for PYB and I hope to see you there, M
p.s. if you received an invite, it was because you attended another PYB show over the past few months and I assumed you would want to see this one! Note: if you don't want an invite in future, please do let me know.

*Does Social Business Make Sense?*
_Not just for people but for the organizations as well?_
*Social Business is the focus of every business owner and CEO.* As we transition to a world of people, connections and relationships where advertising and traditional marketing do not work like they used to, the trend is to reposition a business to work harder for its employees, better with its customers and for its community.
When the traditional model of a business gives us some very strong, clearly defined guidelines, driven by the irrefutable logic of the balance sheet, *does it make much sense to really talk about social business?* Is it a distraction? *And if not, can there be a workable path that can transition a legacy business to a modern, social one?*
Discussing some of the key questions will be TEDx speaker and author @105103058358743760661. *A former Microsoft executive and a thought leader in the field of technology, people and organizations,* Gideon will be sharing some of his insights with us. Hosting the discussion will be @115620878851836664537 with @102000982871890720967 and at the controller's helm, making sure that everything runs smoothly will be @100470926227322431614 with @115000108263064481690.
*Don't forget to join the conversation!*
We want your questions, highlights, and feedback prior to, during, and after the event so make sure to tweet @socialmedia2day using the hashtag #SMTPowerTalk or leave us comments on the Google+ or YouTube event pages! Let's get this conversation started!

This week's Guest Lineup full of smarty-pants firepower: @102298718421596692551 and @100051823481555735669! I'm fairly certain the Internet will blow up when I get these two powerhouses sitting together on @109324423871490315778 Power Chat Virtual Interview Couch!

*Another Small Business Conundrum*
Mention Social Media around a group of micro/small businesses and you will often get a lot of groans and rolling eyes. “One more thing to do”... “I tried that, worthless”... “I just don’t get it…” just to name a few responses. There will often be that one person who thinks social media is the best thing since sliced bread, (envy alert) and talks about how great it has been for their business. Often the reason for that is fairly obvious. Their business type and personality come into play really quickly. Some people and businesses find it a natural fit.
*So what about the rest of us?*
Our special guest @107022061436866576067 is riding in to the rescue with some real, down-to-earth “horse before the cart” style tips and strategies that any type of business will find something they can use to make a more meaningful start, and become more effective in Social Media.

It's a New Year! Let's jumpstart it with a Weekend Edition of @109324423871490315778 Power Chat. Check out this amazing lineup of panel guests who will fill us in on what they think is the latest & greatest for 2015:
@115620878851836664537 - Author, Speaker, Analyst.
_I travel a lot. I surf the web even more. Over the last four years I've spent time in fifteen countries and three continents making airports and hotel rooms more of a constant, for me, than home. I also spend more hours, each day, online than most people would consider to be healthy. The one stability in all this is Google+ where I can be found, time allowing, on most days. It has become my anchor._
_In my posts, interviews and podcasts I add pieces to the puzzle. I explain how each one fits in a bigger picture. How that bigger picture then makes sense. Sensemaking changes everything._
_Before I got here, I used to be a corporate rat who used to be a journalist, before I jumped ship into full-time writing, speaking and blogging._
@115137076899523837053 - One of my favorite teenagers & aspiring DIY host. I rely on Kiragan to help me keep up with the cool kids! Kiragan is an eighth grader and an aspiring You Tuber. You can find her watching a season a day of Netflix when she is not playing basketball four days a week. In the future she hopes to own her own business because she loves people and being her own boss. Her Instagram is the bomb.com and you should follow her!

@103158283130494425954: Rachel is pursuing concurrent Master's degrees in urban planning and information science at the University of Michigan, with the aspiration to design human-computer interactions at the urban scale. Specifically, Rachel is interested in designing how people will interact with emerging technologies -- such as drones, autonomous cars, and pervasive computing -- within the city, with an eye towards making sure these technologies promote positive human interactions and greater community engagement. She has previously worked at the Brookings Institution and the World Resources Institute, and holds BAs in English and environmental humanities from Stony Brook University.
@106628164966864339997 - @112784356967153325101 Zack Jones is a college dropout entrepreneur that is shooting to change the way we define housing. When he decided to quit his academic career and his day job to pursue a new path as a business owner, he had no idea where his tiny idea was going to take him. Fast forward three years to now and Zack has brought his idea off the napkin and into the most demanding phase of a new business, the startup. Aside from being obsessed with tiny houses, Zack is passionate about creating learning pathways that are uniquely tailored to each individual persons needs and excited to chat about how starting tiny is a promising first step to something so much larger!

*Keeping it Real... How Brands get Personal via Social Media*
_Join us for this 30 minute lively interactive discussion on how Brands can use Online Methods to get Personal with people online._
You are welcome (and encouraged) to leave comments and questions for the panel members.
Join @107022061436866576067 @115620878851836664537 and myself for this 30 minute Live Broadcast that is a followup to the articles Mark & David published on similar topics.
Mark's was published on @112544075040456048636 http://stonet.co/PersonalPunch and David's was published via @106422607009487632392 http://www.plusyourbusiness.com/keeping-it-real-became-next-thing-marketing/
Both of the articles focus on how Brands can be seen as more connected with us via various online methods. We'll bring in the idea of how Hangouts and Hangouts on Air (HOA) can really humanize a brand when done properly.
There is another HOA covering the same topic scheduled to broadcast before this one so check that out as well... it is presented by @115000108263064481690 here: http://goo.gl/99CV27
This particular HOA, part of the #HangoutTechTalk series, is sponsored by the Hangout Mastery membership. A great place to learn and maintain your HOA skills... get info here: www.bit.ly/HangoutMastery

*What if....*
Google+ is not a social network at all - never intended to be a Facebook killer, nor a Twitter wanna-be and definitely not in a rush to keep up with everything else out there...?
*What if....*
Google+ is Google's way of analyzing our personal relationships across all their products (because relationships can't be faked) and use that knowledge to fuel services like Google Now, Nest, Home automation and Driveless cars...?
*"So what the fuck is Google+ for anyway?"*
@102034052532213921839 is an ex-Google employee who helped design the UX of Google+ before he left Google a year ago, and whose name came up again on the Plus stream when he shared his *Thoughts on Google+* asking [quote] "So what the fuck is Google+ for anyway?" and got the community talking.
*SO LET'S -TALK- HANGOUT ABOUT IT.*
Chris is very disappointed with Google+ because he expects better from Google.
But maybe he's expecting the wrong things?
@113117251731252114390 rebutted Chris' post and defended Google+ in a Google+ post that was shared 524 time and sparked conversations across the Plus (https://www.gplusgotogal.com/MikeElganRebuttal1)
Chris responded - https://www.gplusgotogal.com/ChrisMessinaRebutal
And Mike claimed that Chris lost the argument because he didn't answer the main questions:
"What site has
1) a better community;
2) better troll control;
3) better photo tools;
4) better integration with a leading wearables platform;
5) better conversations;
6) better monetization;
7) better search?"
(https://www.gplusgotogal.com/MikeElganRebuttal2)
Basically, comparing Google+ to Facebook again. (_sigh_)
*IS CHRIS USING GOOGLE+ WRONG?*
Chris, who was an integral part in the development of Google+ for 3.5 years was told by @107742059751171695340 that he was using Google+ wrong. He should have been talking and listening to Top Contributors (which Jaana is one) who have their ears to the ground:
_"Which is the direction it's taking? That depends. Also on us, the users. Google listens."_
(You should definitely read the comments on Jaana's post, where she and Chris get into an agreement - https://www.gplusgotogal.com/JaanaNyströmGooglePlus)
*IS IT ABOUT THE SHARED INTEREST GRAPH?*
Perhaps the best insight is that of @105103058358743760661 who read between Chris' lines and brought up the point of Big Data and information networks:
[Google+] "should have been 1000% focused on helping people build a rich information network around the things we care most about - our interest graph - and then to use that interest graph to connect us with *new* people who share those interests with us - our "shared interest graph."
And if it's about the interest graph, then who's better than @115620878851836664537 to remind us that that takes time: _ It requires building a bunch of things, integrating them and then waiting to see how people will use them and what the data will show you. This means that we have to wait to see some results (many of which will impact search) and

December 4th is the official day for the book launch of *The Art of Social Media* ( http://jtw.bz/ArtOfSocialBook )and I'm excited and honored to host a launch day HOA with @104858643838035519891 and @112374836634096795698
We'll be talking about the book, of course, but we're also going to look at how there is not a one size fits all strategy for social and you need to understand all the possibilities to find the one that works best for your business.
It's interesting to see how different these two are on social and have come together and co-authored the book.
So stop by to hear about the "common ground" concepts, tons of tools for management, and most importantly, how to discover your special recipe for success in social media.

GoogleWorld appreciates all the great information @113690073826160821557 shares with us on a daily basis. But do you know the "Entrepreneurial" background of Eric? "SmallBizDavid" will "tap" his very keen, creative "Entrepreneurial" mind... Come and see what makes Eric "tick"--and bring some challenging questions.

Bill and Ammon ( @106515636986325493284 and @113426828273677356184 ) reprise their role as the "Wyld Stallyns" of SEO, with bodacious babe @101280116286631896187 helping wrangle comments, and stop them chasing squirrels. (okay, a more realistic goal: prevent them chasing too many squirrels).
About *Bill and Ammon's Bogus Hangout*
This is not a polished, planned and scripted event. This is a casual hangout with old friends and new, shared with all. Somewhere around the halfway point, we'll post the link for anyone who wishes to come and join us (space permitting) allowing us to meet even more old and new friends.﻿
The idea of pre-planning, a set topic, or even simply knowing who will be on the show this week? All totally *bogus*.
Free Air-Guitars to all attendees (exact model and colour may vary with imagination)
We have no idea yet who will actually turn up, and that's how we like it.
Excellent!

- Their STC Cats weekly round-up post
- The in-depth experiments that Stone Temple Consulting has become known for
- How Mark and Eric keep up with all the activity and notifications!
- Mark's new Thought Leadership & Personal Branding community (along with what it takes to run a successful community, because between the two of them, they run several!)
This should be a very interesting discussion; *bring your questions, invite some people who would be interested, and we'll see you on Wednesday, November 5th, at 1pm ET!*
#gplusspotlight #googleplus #hangoutsonair

What a great line up this week @113690073826160821557 as special guest talking about his SEO book (and no doubt the new one out in 2015) as well as @115854344437995415484 on SEO duty, @110581056743381299062 on Social Media duty and @110240596237283903526 on Google+ duty.......then there might be little old me as the cavalry talking about the latest in futuristic marketing!
*Aim of the Mid Week Marketing Mix*
To discuss only what is new and exciting in the key areas of marketing; an education and overview for both viewers and filmstrip guests
*Format:*
These shows run every two weeks and there will be 5 segments, each 10 minutes long. These segments will include a segment on each of these areas include:
1/ Google+
2/ Other Social Platforms
3/ SEO/Content Marketing
4/ Video Marketing and Hangouts
5/ Special Guest slot – book launch, influential website owner or influencer
There will be 10 minutes to top and tail it which hopefully leaves some time for some extra questions should this be required.
I hope you will join us

*Are you looking far enough ahead?*
I don't know about you, but I have a terrible habit of looking into the future and trying to live there.
Once I see where I want my life or the things around it are going I forget everything else and take up permanent residence there.
Maybe you're not like me and prefer to absorb yourself in the present and don't like to try and forecast what's to come.
It doesn't matter which person you are, @102572320061138442096 is going to help you recalibrate your psychic desires.
Ben has a long, successful, track record of not just seeing the future, but also translating his visions into reality.

@115620878851836664537 @107022061436866576067 and I are looking forward to discussing the rapid advances in semantic search. Google, Siri, and Cortana are all making advances, but Google is the clear leader in this space.
Here is the YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paQ7qq4ddag
@115515796589038584989 has documented that in a study that will publish in the Digital Marketing Excellence Blog on Tuesday morning. David is about to publish a post on a "reconciliation of identities across different social networks".
Join us on Tuesday October 7th at 1 PM ET to talk about these new papers and more. Say YES to get access to the video for live or later viewing. I will also share the YouTube link here for mobile viewers.
Please *reshare the event* or *invite others*. Thanks for your help!

Join me as I carry the camera with me through the streets of *Las Vegas* and inside of this extreme convention, meeting new people and interviewing and getting to know other marketers.
*The Hook of Reality*
Nothing will be hidden from the audience, day to day life in a convention-goer's world as I leave the camera on for the maximum time that Google Hangouts allows, which is 8 hours.

*Ten things Cynthia Sanchez and I will NOT talk about during this week’s interview about Pinterest* http://jtw.bz/PinBlog1
As I was preparing for this week’s program, I was reading article after article about Pinterest for marketing and small business, and it was almost embarrassing how they were saying the same exact thing.
Right up front, here are 10 things we won’t be talking about:
1.) You need to "engage"
2.) Be "authentic"
3.) Build a community around your brand
4.) Visit others’ boards and pin their things; this will get their attention and they’ll pin yours
5.) Use hashtags
6.) Fill out your Pinterest profile
7.) Pin two to three times a day
8.) Use bigger images
9.) Add links to your pins into your G+ posts (G+ and Pinterest play very nicely together) and other profiles
10.) Have fun!
Tips are good, no doubt, but this week Cynthia Sanchez and I will not be wasting this half hour just to meme out on “Pin all the things.”
+Cynthia Sanchez started to use Pinterest in 2011 and in 2012 left her job as a full-time radiation oncology nurse to focus on building her “Oh So Pinteresting” business.
Today Cynthia is a leading authority on Pinterest and is commonly found presenting at larger social media conferences and summits.
I will be asking Cynthia to share some of her best small businesses success stories. We’ll get into bootstrapping business owners who are juggling social media and other marketing channels - trying to figure out this whole online space - and seeing real success in their small business.
If this sounds Pinteresting to you, we’ll see you there!

On Aug 28th Google announced termination of the Authorship program, via an announcement from *John Mueller.* goo.gl/QgyUSH
*[This HOA Special is TODAY, see event for local time.]*
To say this came as a shock to many loyal Google authorship fans & Google+ users would be an understatement. Needless to say there are lots of questions being asked about what all this means...
Why did this happen? What does it mean for authors, for SEO & ranking? What about Author Rank, or Agent Rank, are they still coming? What's going to replace authorship & what about schema.org & other markup?
So on very short notice, I decided to see if we could get the experts together on this, share our thoughts & answer your questions. Amazingly within a few hours & at the end of the week, we'd reworked our schedules & planned this event.
Although I'm pretty sure this panel of well known industry thought leaders don't need an introduction, I'd like to say very special thanks to them all for coming. So a warm welcome to @107022061436866576067, @113690073826160821557, @115620878851836664537, @115106448444522478339 & @102572320061138442096.
All are welcome to come & bring your questions. I also recommend the following related posts:

*What's holding you back from taking your second chance to reinvent yourself?*
When you talk to @107022061436866576067 you normally think you're going to get something super smart about something you barely understand.
Well, I'm pretty sure we are still going to get something super smart, but I bet the challenge this time won't be understanding it, rather taking action...
If you aren't already familiar with Mark's story and how he became one of the most respected and trusted names on SEO, Google+ and Google Authorship, you're in for a treat.
We are going to explore what it takes to find success from a point in your life that you thought was permanent.
*Today we're are going to go deep, rattle some cages and find out if you have what it takes to reinvent yourself*
Join me, @101673372680561858140 for this new adventure.
You can learn more about @107022061436866576067 for yourself at http://www.stonetemple.com/

This week our special guest will be @106515636986325493284 who will be talking about 'Entity Audits'. Not sure what that is? Here's a teaser from Bill;
"Before Google announced their Knowledge Base with their words about indexing things instead of strings, I was already working to make web pages "about" Something.
We are seeing knowledge panels and rich snippets and sitelinks in search results. Special OneBoxes are also appearing more quickly.
In response to those, we've been doing Entity audits for sites, where we look at entities that already appear on sites, and ones that maybe should appear but don't.
We've been looking at what shows up when the name of a site, and the domain name for a site are searched for in terms of knowledge panels, related entities, sitelinks, at the search engines. We're looking at what appears for these at places such as Wikipedia and Freebase an other knowledge bases.
I have a couple of examples that I would like to share of how doing an entity audit can make a site richer, and potentially show up for more searches, including some changes on a site from 2005 that set me off on this path. :)"

Have a question about digital marketing? Bring it on and @107022061436866576067 and I will do our level best to give you an intelligent answer. Want to ask us about something else? We will take that on too. It's been a while since we have done this on the #DMAShow and we figured it was time to do it again.

*Video Marketing - the unfair advantage*
The ISOOSI Tuesday Marketing Chat ( #isoosichat )hangout with special guests @110256277832745362774 and @109237790792840071389 joining the regular discussion panel of @113426828273677356184 @106515636986325493284 and @116843668885160648294
This week our show focuses on video marketing, and at the ways in which video excels as a medium for marketing to the extent that it almost seems like an unfair advantage.
Our Guests this week are incredibly knowledgeable and talented in this space.
@109237790792840071389 is famed for giving "The Scott Treatment" - Reviving, Re-packaging and Re-purposing great content with an emphasis on video and HOAs. Among other clients, he works on doing his thing for Stonetemple's excellent video/HOA strategy.
@110256277832745362774 of @105271135735494528442 is very knowledgable in this space. Not only does he produce a range of video marketing production services for clients, he also experiments extensively with what can be done on a given platform.
This week's panel will be discussing the power of video for marketing in all its aspects. Obviously we are fans, as the weekly shows prove. But there's a lot more to video marketing than just hangouts and live streaming.
For one thing, YouTube has a massive user-base, and a search traffic all of its own, which you are not able to tap at all without some kind of video offering. Unlike other search engines, people searching on YouTube often continue to browse through results for a long time, and not only choose one answer to their search.
Google also tries to offer diverse media in every search result, meaning that some video or other is almost always in the first page of search results, but often selected from a much, much smaller pool of related content.
Then there's the fact that video is one of the best forms of cross-platform content for social network platforms. There is absolutely no better way to get a complex message onto twitter, for instance, given the character limits. But remember also that while you have to vary the length of snippets for each platform, almost all allow a youtube video to be embedded right into the stream. Its the one post that can work exactly the same on Facebook, Twitter, and G+ too.
Even in the small details, video offers some great advantages. With watermarking, lower-third graphical overlays, and similar in-picture branding, it is a lot harder for someone to simply copy and paste your work as their own.
In the course of the show, we'll discuss what sort of investment is needed for professional looking video, how to determine the right kind of video content for your needs, and many insights into how to maximize the results of video marketing.

Misconceptions are rampant in the world of SEO. So much speculation and so little real info. Yet, operating with the wrong information can have fatal consequences to your SEO plan. Join @109296198272425566656 and I as we share our thoughts on common myths, how to recognize new ones, and how to protect yourself from them.
The show will air on Friday July 25, 2014 at 3 PM ET (Boston time). Say YES to the event invite to get access to the video for live or later viewing. I will also share the video link here for mobile viewers.
Please help us by sharing this event or inviting others to attend. Thanks for your help!

Paid search is a wholly different ballgame than SEO. Know something about SEO? Forget about it, that won't help you here. Watch this show with @103535742941088310823 and I to learn what it takes to master paid search and turn it into a money making machine.

People who love Hangouts and are using them all the time - who will share why they love them so much.
This is a celebration event and everyone is welcome. If you would like to join us LIVE inside the hangout let us know in the comments .......
A list of guests will be added as people confirm they can join us and you too are welcome to hop into the Hangout and share why you love Google Plus too.

*Glass in the Class Episode Season 2 Episode 1: The Art of Delivery in Public Speaking*
Youtube Live Event URL:
Here's the rundown:
My classroom for 30 minutes with my students.
3 perspectives: Google Glass, The computer camera, and the camera on my guest.
Discussing how communication and changing technology has affected the life/work of my guest.
So who's my guest speaking about delivery you ask?!
@107022061436866576067, forever an educator but at one point a teacher will be talking to my students about how the art of delivery in public speaking continues to be important, but how it might be changing with technology today. Mark's expertise in Authorship and understanding of search, coupled with his innate ability to educate and reduce complexities to simple "start here" ideas will make this particular episode a great learning experience for my students. *Did I mention Mark also has experience with improv?* You know he has a thing or two to teach my students about how to master the art of delivery!
There are many components to public speaking, and it's usually the parts of delivery we tend to need to work on. Things like volume, appropriate movement and gestures, use of space, tone, and many others are the things many of us forget in our -excitement- anxiety to speak in front of a crowd. So how do we master these cues that seem like things you either have or you don't? Well, that's for Mark to answer ;)
As always I'd also like to thank @100470926227322431614 for running my cameras for me.

And, the journey continues. SEO has been through a constant state of change since its inception.

*How is Google Authorship relevant to your business?*
Google Authorship has been around since 2011 and while more and more people and brands have implemented “rel=author”, there is still a lot of confusion as to what exactly it accomplishes.
Some think that it improves search results, others install it for the reported improvement in Click Through Rates (CTRs) by having your face appear on SERPs. Some because they hear it will improve their SERP ranking.
To tell us the benefits of _authorship_ and dispel some of the myths, the #GPlusLunchBunch is very excited to have the authority on Authorship and all round nice guy @107022061436866576067 join us at our virtual lunch table.
Mark is the Senior Director of Online Marketing at @115515796589038584989.
He is a prolific content creator and my chief source of information relating to online authority.
He’s generous with his knowledge and time as is demonstrated by his many appearances on HOAs.
If you have questions about authorship and want to know more, join us around the table.
However, you’ll have to bring your own lunch (east coast), breakfast (west coast), dinner (UK).

In the latest installment of the weekly ISOOSI Tuesday Chat we are joined by @103682117587904833322 - a true veteran of Internet Marketing. Together, we shall discuss and explore ways to attract those all-important links and citations to a site or venture that is not yet famed or renowned.
*How Do You Attract Links _Before_ You Have Reputation?*
Years ago, @116884753591158922581 (another true veteran marketer) wrote a superb article entitled "The Filthy Linking Rich", where he explained how the same sort of *power law* that applies to other resources, such as wealth, apply just as much to links. Just as the rich get richer, so do those with lots of links get more exposure, and thus attract more links.
We'll discuss that power law briefly, but mainly we'll focus on how to overcome it. How do we attract links to a site that is newer, or has so far been seen as less authoritative (its cited less often)?
This topic naturally follows from last week where we discussed Starting New Online Ventures, and has a strong relationship to getting that new venture up and running. As always, expect some wonderful food for thought, and many practical insights.
Join @103682117587904833322 and the #isoosichat regulars @113426828273677356184, @106515636986325493284, and @116843668885160648294

Is your content marketing campaign driving you mad? Good, I am not the only one! Join @107022061436866576067 and I as we talk about the strategies we employ to make our content marketing efforts more efficient.

This week I'll interview @115415882981569471878.
Barry loves me; in fact, Barry loves me so much he called me a knucklehead earlier. Yes, that much.
But here is the thing, that is Barry, it expresses who he is - an energetic, straight talking, 'from the hip shoot' King of personal branding.
And that is what I want to show you. Not just 'go read his stuff', but to show you how to infuse your personality into everything you do online.
I'll be learning too, of course.
p.s. I met Barry at the Social Media Marketing World conference, and he is starting to 'get' Google+, and maybe even fall in love with it as well.
So, please join me, to shake out your branding cobwebs, get fresh, and be inspired this Wednesday!

There’s been a lot of squawking in the henhouse about @107117483540235115863's departure from Google and where that leaves Google Plus?
The crap hit the fan when TechCrunch published its article: "Google+ is Walking Dead", and it’s been flying since.
We’ve had the weekend to compose ourselves so today, the #GPlusLunchBunch will chat about the departure of the G+ leader and what that means to the “platform”.
*How do you think Google+ will be changing in the months ahead?*
@107022061436866576067 wrote a personal analysis of what this change may mean. _Quo Vadis Google+? What's Next for Google's Social Network?_ http://goo.gl/KPZGk5
I particularly liked his analogy addressing the comparison of Google+ to the fate of Google Reader:
_“...to say for now that turning off Google Reader was like removing a sock. Dismantling Google+ would be more like ripping out a person's nervous system.”_
Today's lunch Bunch show will be a chance for you and our panel to sit and discuss how we feel things will change...or not, with Google+ now that Vic has left and “Bez”, @113882113745075873153 is taking over.

#GetYourLearnOn #PeopleYouNeedToKnow

The Mia Connect Power Chat - LIVE from Social Media Marketing World 2014 in San Diego

Special Guest: Danny Sullivan
One of the things that either makes people love or hate SEO the most is how things constantly change. To those who have been in the industry more than 15 years, even all the pace of change today doesn't seem as extreme in many ways as the days when each month there might be yet another upcoming search engine, or the closure of a search engine you'd used to optimise for and got good traffic from. In this epic Roundtable discussion, industry leader @113217924531763968801 joins the regular ISOOSI panel (@113426828273677356184, @106515636986325493284 and @112430199625001815612) to talk about how change should be dealt with, anticipated, and adapted to.
We'll look at the truth in the old saying "The more things change, the more they stay the same", looking at some of the constant factors of SEO, not least that people themselves have not (yet) changed nearly so much.
We'll talk about wether Google's dominance is now too great to challenge, or if a serious potential rival is already out there, be it Apple, or some less-expected challenger.
We will look ahead at some of the changes we expect, and discuss ways to deal with such changes. We'll talk about the things we don't expect to change much over the next few years, which may therefore be the most 'future-proof' areas to invest in for value.
We'll also talk about changes to the industry of web marketing itself, drawing upon Danny's insights running SMX as a sign of what people are most (and least) interested in learning today.

Join the owners and moderators of the Social Media communities on Google+ as they talk about what is important to you. Most likely featuring people like @115516333681138986628 @117547081660023231214 @102572320061138442096 @107022061436866576067 @113690073826160821557 @103008963082975341976, but more information on hosts, guests and topics to come!

@107022061436866576067 and I are here in New Orleans at Pubcon, and we are going to pick out some of the top speakers from Pubcon and have them join us for the #DMEShow this Thursday at 3 PM EDT (Boston time).

This time on the #DMAShow @107022061436866576067 and I are taking on an oldie but goodie. How can you get more engagement with your activity on Google Plus? This is the core issue - not the number of followers you have. Build the engagement and the followers will, well, follow.
The live YouTube link will be shared here just before show time. Just say YES to make sure that you get the video link in your notifications/stream.
Also, INVITE OTHERS! Or SHARE the event with others. This a public event, and the more the merrier.

*Back by popular demand.* (And because we don't have anything else to do at 3PM EDT on a Sunday). Join the owners and moderators of the Social Media communities on Google+ (Strategy, Professionals, Creative, and Discussions) as they talk about what is important to you. Okay, that's vague. To be honest, we haven't decided yet, just exactly what we will be talking about. But know this... it will be awesome.

*Discussion about the new 'Google+ Link Preview Cards', with Mark Traphagen and Martin Shervington*
It launched less that 24 hours ago and we are ready to discuss some of the potential consequences and opportunities of this AWESOME new feature.
Starts at around 4.30pm EST...

Discussion about the new 'Google+ Link Preview Cards', with Mark Traphagen and Martin Shervington

*Glass in the Class Episode 3: The Power of Verbal Communication today!
First note: I can't schedule for a specific time but it actually starts at 9:20a.m. EST.
Youtube Live Event URL: http://goo.gl/LNFqNd
Here's the rundown:
My classroom for 15-20 minutes with my students.
3 perspectives: Google Glass, The computer camera, and the camera on my guest.
Discussing how communication and changing technology has affected the life/work of my guest.
So who's my guest of verbal communication you ask?!
@107022061436866576067, forever an educator but at one point a teacher will be talking to my students about how he sees the power of verbal communication with new technology today. Mark's expertise in Authorship and understanding of search, coupled with his innate ability to educate and reduce complexities to simple "start here" ideas will make this particular episode a great learning experience for my students.
A lot of us forget the distinction between verbal and nonverbal communication, considering it all just communication, but when functioning virtual it's a distinction we definitely have to consider and its affects on trust and authenticity.
As always I'd also like to thank @100470926227322431614 for running my cameras for me (it's really early in the morning for him) and @115091224082668507135 for the mad imaging skills on the banner!﻿

*If Content Marketing and SEO had a baby, would it be named Google Plus?*
Here is the mobile link: http://youtu.be/IyAcU50xCbo
This is the very question I'm going to ask our two wonderful guests on Content Warfare TV, @107022061436866576067 and @113690073826160821557.
A funny question for sure, but an honest one. With SEO quickly evolving as Google Search continues to refine it's algorithm and content glut taking it's toll on any piece of content less than outstanding...
I want to know if Google+ the perfect place for businesses, entrepreneurs, solopreneurs to combine content marketing with SEO and begin to stand out on the noisy Inter-web?
Mark's first visit to the Content Warfare Podcast is still one of the most downloaded episodes the show's ever had. You can listen here: http://goo.gl/Vll38G

*Storytelling for Business Building with Chris Brogan*
There’s a lot of talk lately about storytelling in business and for good reason. Stories help people to understand and relate to your business journey. Where did you get the idea? What was the first thing you did when you realized that you had a good idea? what worked? what was your biggest mistake?
This program is produced by http://ontracktips.com/storytelling-business-building-chris-brogan/
It’s the answers to these questions that interviewers love to ask because viewers want to experience the journey of the successful business owner. They want to imagine themselves walking this path and living this dream. But aside from telling your rise to the top story, what other stories can we tell as business owners? what other stories do people want to hear?
That’s why I have invited @118320665823821681206 to “Get on Track, Stay on Track” because Chris is passionate about small business and he understands the value of telling story for branding, for marketing, for business.
*Chris is the Author of* "Trust Agents", "Google+ for Business" "The Impact Equation" "Social Media 101" and the soon to be released "The Freaks Shall Inherit the Earth" http://jtw.bz/ChrisBr (affiliate link)
Some of the questions I’m going to be asking Chris are:
⇒ Other than your rise to the top story, what day to day stories can we tell in marketing?
⇒ What are some of the best examples of companies that are using storytelling in business today?
⇒ How much of your personal life do you share in your business story?
If this interests you, start asking questions now AND Invite 2 friends!

Mark is an expert on social media, content marketing, internet marketing, Google Plus Business Pages, authorship, and much more. According to Mark, his mission is to "help you get seen and heard, to get your message out and bring in people who want and need what you have to offer. My special know-how is in the intersection of social and search.” Together with @113690073826160821557, Mark co-hosts the *Digital Marketing Answers Show*.
Mark will share his insights on what works and what doesn't on Google Plus and best practices for building SEO-friendly authority and authorship.
*Guest Speaker @100415249515556372798 on Good Old-Fashion Relationship Building*
If anyone knows good old-fashioned relationship building, it's David Oldenberg who hosts the *Online Money Show*. Among his many accomplishments, David has spent 18 years creating and hosting business and financial talk radio shows and frequently helps others create and develop their businesses.

*Come Join Us on Legally Speaking*
@110859590166083797997 and I, together with Mark and David, will tackle some important questions, as they relate to both SEO, search, and relationship building. Here are just a few of the topics we’ll cover:
Does follower count matter?
Should you care about the engagement per shared post of those who share your posts?
Should we care who interacts with you on Google Plus?
Do plus mentions help?
Is it wise to do round-robin sharing and link-dumping?
So, join us on Legally Speaking to learn why we're here. No, we're not going to give you the meaning of life. But we

I am excited to announce the third episode of Psychological Warfare. This week we'll be continuing our discussion of weapons of influence. Recall that during our last episode we discussed the principle of social proof, the principle of authority, the principle of scarcity, and we began discussing the principle of liking. We'll be picking up with parts of the principle of liking that we weren't able to cover and then we'll be introducing the last two psychological triggers.
We're also pleased to announce a new member to our panel: Please welcome the great @115124864391789940258 as the newest psywarrior! She is a digital storyteller with degrees in political science and history. She provides roadmaps to business owners who have difficulty finding their way through the digital marketing landscape. She is going to be a powerful addition to this team!
@107665939201638457855 is the world renowned creative lunatic. I call him that because his mastery of design is of epic and crazy proportions. He'll be discussing principles of social proof and principles of building authority.
@116472363297290737047 is a successful serial entrepreneur and he'll be providing practical ways to implement our principles into business. He’ll also be discussing the psychological principle of liking.
If you've found value in our previous episodes, please consider sharing this event and inviting others who you believe will find value in the discussion.

Last week we unleashed the power of the story.
Next week we'll find out about a story in the correct place and time.
*This week, be it painful or blissful, stories are only effective when received.*
Believe it or not, *your business tells a story,* and we don’t mean to your customers. We mean to you. Are you listening? Do you even know what to listen for? To do what? MORE, right? Well, what does that actually mean?
This week @110746124112827812577 and @109237790792840071389 will explore what your business can tell you, and if you don’t like the storyline? Well, that’s part of this week’s show too.
Who better to help us explore and dig into this topic than @103878515854423822283? He loves solving technical, operational and business inefficiencies using my unique ability to deconstruct complex problems, and leveraging technology to optimize business performance.
Whether looking for new opportunities, ways to grow, building processes, acquiring expertise…first, check in with the business. It gladly gives us information, clues, and areas to explore. Yet, we overlook this attention our business shines on us.
Receiving, or active listening, to the business will help identify low hanging fruit (easy to implement ideas), cost savings and time savings.
Let’s give our business a bit of love back through active listening - and see how we can tune in and magnify the things that could hold us back or propel us forward by learning how to listen and receive important information.
*Spoiler Alert:* Jason’s in depth knowledge of the how and why of Evernote allows him to share how operational competency and narrative can touch at the deepest level to create great stories.This is one episode of the JSY! show you’ll not want to miss.
*YOU* (the Y in JSY) matter - come and explore this topic with us. Start the conversation now.
(We are a LATE show. Responding Yes or Maybe will set a reminder so you can catch the replay if it isn't a time you can join us live.)
*Hashtag: #JSY *

*Who wants to join me as I interview Jay Baer about his New York Times best selling business book?*
We will be talking about the attitude/culture/approach of 'helping', including how Jay finds the culture on Google+; where he thinks we should be putting our attention right now, and where it is going in the future.
Whether you are a business or an individual looking at your own approach, this should be a lot of fun and give you new insights too!
*What is 'Youtility' all about?*
Jay says..."The difference between helping and selling is just two letters. But those two letters are critically important to your company’s success.
You’re not competing for attention only against other, similar products. You’re competing for attention against everything. To win in this hyper-competitive environment, you must ask “How can we help?”
If you sell something, you make a customer today, but if you genuinely help someone, you create a customer for life. This is Youtility."
Sound good? See you then!

@107022061436866576067 joins the ISOOSI chat today at 3pm EST and we're super excited to have him on the show.
Mark has been one of the people for me personally (and I know for many others too) that has really been instrumental in highlighting the benefits of Google+. But, not only the easy pickings that are clear to see. Mark evangelizes the use of Google+ as not only a business network but a social network. A social network that is on a different level to anything else we have on the interwebs. He'll be the first to say that it has given him opportunities that would never have existed before it. And I for one share that experience and couldn't agree more.
All businesses can learn from this hangout... and we'll start really with the basics too. We know we have many small businesses that use ISOOSI and list their businesses in our search directory that currently have zero presence on Google+
So, some of what we talk about may be already known to those that are immersed in it on a daily basis.... but through this hangout we hope to join Mark in expressing our belief in the platform and communicate the benefits it can bring to you - from a personal AND business perspective.

More about our guest @107022061436866576067:
_Mark is Senior Director of Online Marketing for Stone Temple Consulting, a digital marketing agency located in the Boston area. He's pretty sure Stone Temple CEO Eric Enge added "senior" to Mark's title as a veiled reference to his age. He lives in Durham NC, which he regards as Portland OR without a web parody (yet)._
_Mark has been active on Google+ since its third day and has developed a reputation as an expert on using Google+ for business and personal branding, as well as on Google Authorship._
_When he's not singlehandedly trying to eliminate Google+'s "ghost town" image by posting there at least once every 10 minutes, you'll find Mark playing mandolin in a New Orleans-style second line band called The Bulltowns Strutters, and competing in storyslam events._

Have you ever thought about comment systems?
If not maybe maybe it's because you didn't know you had options.
If you knew about options, you've asked yourself, “Which comment system is the best?”
That's why I have invited +Mark Traphagen and +David Amerland to help us make a more informed decision about comment systems. Also we will be joined by my good friend +Donart Nummer
We will be looking at the advantages and disadvantages of these four options:
Google+ Comments, Facebook Comments, Disqus, and native WordPress

⇒ Is there any value to “owning your comments" in a local database?
⇒ Do the SERPs Index comments?
⇒ What is the single most valuable thing about comments?
Each of our panelists will give us *3 important facts* about “comment best practices specific to SEO and the Semantic Web” that we need to know

*What you NEED to know about SEO?*
Join us on Mobile http://jtw.bz/MTseoHOA
In this series, we've looked at Business Strategy, Marketing, and Monetization. Now it's time for Optimization.
SEO, or search engine optimization, is one of those terms that is often misunderstood and misrepresented. There are hundreds of SEO "gurus" out there teaching the latest tips and tricks. In fact there is so much misinformation being regurgitated and thrown around its almost impossible for a small business owner know where to begin.
And that's exactly why I've invited SEO expert +Mark Traphagen to the program.
Mark has a proven track record as one of today's most respected authorities on SEO.
This week Mark will answer questions like:
⇒ What is optimization and why do I need it?
⇒ Where should I begin?
⇒ Can I do it myself?
⇒ 7 things you must do for your website SEO
⇒ What is the difference between onsite and offsite SEO?
We will be answering your questions on this event, start asking now!

A G+ Hangout focussing on Social SEO. We've confirmed @107022061436866576067, @107187240364808249726, @101553645463759781942 (from Dell), @103481343935202339450 and @114918475211209783081 will be there! A great opportunity to gain valuable insight into making the most out of your social networks and the communities you manage. Let us know any questions you'd like to ask in the comments below.

*Recently Google+ Changed some things regarding a Plus One to a Post*. Come watch a Live discussion with at least 3 Google+ Power users as to how this has changed things. Learn from the discussion what you may want to do differently or if nothing has changed for you.
*Mobile Viewers can watch via this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt7wjtzOa60 ...* and those wanting to try out the Questions App can visit this link or click the *"Official site link below"* once it shows.
I'll be joined by +Mark Traphagen & +Dustin W. Stout ... there may be more people on the Panel by the time we get going on Tuesday.

_There is a chance we may be using the Questions App {Beta - Field Trial} during the show, if so, we will leave a link to guide you there if you want to see it in action during the show._
*Plus 1's now are truly recommendations*. Many of us used Plus 1's for other things like "Got it" or "I see this" - a form of acknowledgement, or other "social kindness" but with the new normal, some of this is changing.
Leave your questions, concerns, etc. in the comments... we'll try to address them in the live show. Remember, shorter comments/questions (that still make sense!) have a better chance at showing up on screen.

*Google Plus profiles, pages and communities all have PageRank!* What's that mean to you and why you should care are the main topics for discussion here. Authorship, PageRank, Algorithms; all SEO stuff you should know more about.
Join @107022061436866576067 @110133760398936676625 & @108210288375340023376 as they break this stuff down into manageable concepts and tactics.
This HOA Discussion will attempt to de-mystify some of this if you are new to it, and help you know the facts if you are familiar with these terms. More and more attention should be given to what happens with our activity on Google Plus and this HOA will help you know where to focus your attention if Google Search Results mean anything to you and your work on Google Plus.
*Some points to ponder are:*
1. PageRank is actually about quality, not quantity.
2. Why engaging with your own experts is better than many others.
3. For Numbers, look at followers, *But for results, look at PageRank.*
4. Why Google's updates are trying to perfect PR, not replace it.
5. Why PR in verified profiles is Google's purest authorship ranking system to date.
Much of this discussion has come about from +Joshua Berg's interesting mini-series on *Google Plus PageRank* here are some links if you have not read them:
Pt 1: Is Google+ Page Rank the culprit behind the current... http://goo.gl/R4TZM
Pt 2: How PageRank in Google+ is Earned. G+ Link Myths... http://goo.gl/0YcDp
Pt 3: Why PR in G+ Matters To You & Your Connections... http://goo.gl/zHKhx
Pt 4: PR in G+. PageRank is Still The Guts of Google Search http://goo.gl/uMcuo
Pt 5: PageRank, Link Juice & SEO for G+ Communities http://goo.gl/ViToc
Also read up on Mark's recent post on Google+ SEO: http://goo.gl/41CNn
For those wanting to check your "Toolbar" PageRank via an online tool, this is the one we have seen show PR for most items inside Google Plus: http://www.prchecker.net/ Copy the URL to your Profile, Page, or Community (including categories) and paste into that tool.

In this interview with the brightest chap on the subject, I ad going to be asking every question I've wanted to ask Mark for months!
We should all get the most understanding on this whole subject area in a rapid fire, energetic and dense 30-40 minute session.
Content will include...
What is ‘authorship’?
How do you set authorship up? (G+ account, website, publishers)
What is the benefit of setting it up?
Can a business Page have authorship?
What is ‘rel publisher’ all about?
What is PageRank? (simple version!)
Is this all about ‘relevance’?
How do the people you to whom you are connected matter now?
What advice would you give to:
a) an individual, and
b) a business to get it all set up!
See you all there :D

Just about everything you need to know about 'authorship', 'author rank' and 'social SEO', with Mark Traphagen

I rarely use this "On Air" option for events... I'm trying to see if people I invite can be added to the guest list, and say Yes, No, Maybe, etc. to this invitation. I thought they could but a fellow G+er thinks that maybe they can't, so here we go!
Can you help out by asking fellow testers (via the *Invite more people* button) to join in for a bit and get added to the guest list? You can say "yes" or "no" or "maybe" yourself too!
Thanks for helping... it may help me with one more issue re. the Events tool as I continue my research on how all its bits and pieces function as I prep my eBook on this topic.

Join us for our first in a series of Healthcare HOA's where your healthcare questions will be answered by leading healthcare professionals. This event features award winning *Orthopaedic Surgeon, Marc S. Stevens, MD, FACS, FICS.*
Dr. Stevens will be answering the following questions:
*1. What are the different athletic injuries you have seen over your career as an Orthopaedic Surgeon?*
*2. Are there things that I can do to avoid having surgery after an injury?*
*3. How do I lower the risk of getting an infection?*
*4. If surgery cannot be avoided, what do I need to know before I'm admitted into the hospital?*
We also invite you to join the NEW *Healthcare Q&A Community*, where you can post healthcare related questions for our medical team and view the categories for each of the Healthcare HOA Events!
We look forward to this launch of a great series for the *Health & Wellness* platform here on Google Plus!

It's time again for another Virtual Star Party, where we connect up telescopes into a live Google+ Hangout. If the weather behaves, we should be able to see the Moon, Jupiter and plenty of deep sky objects, including galaxies, nebulae and star clusters.
We'll talk about what we're seeing with astronomers, discuss gear and technique - we'll even take requests.
If you want a reminder for the star party, make sure you click "Yes", and that'll put a notification into your calendar. Then come back to his event page at the starting time and you'll be able to watch the show here.

*How to Become a Great Internet Marketer*
Becoming great at anything is hard. Becoming a great Internet marketer is almost impossible. Great Internet marketers understand the strange and often counterintuitive balance that Internet marketing requires. Internet marketing is jazz as played by Miles, Coltrane and Armstrong. Consistently creating great Internet marketing is the ability to hit the curve, catch the bomb and shoot the game-winning shot at the buzzer, wrapped into an ever expanding NOW, a future that converts better and at speeds approaching the speed of light.
*“How can I become a great Internet marketer?”* is a frequent question.
Best answer is to create as much BAD Internet marketing as you can, while consta

*is the world going to end on the 21st of december? ...*
according to the _mesoamerican long count calendar_ which the mayans used, the 21st of december is regarded as the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle ... the end of the world as we know it ...
*who cares? ... let's have a party! ...*
i invite you all to a _pre-end of the world hangout party_ ... if the world ends we might as well go down in style ... live music, drinks, fun and good company ... what better way to spend the last hours and minutes ... and if the world doesn't end, we can go straight over into the _after-end of the world hangout party_ with even more music, drinks, fun and the same good company ...
*and don't you guys forget to state if you are going or not by clicking on the _going_ button on the top right! ...*
and of course invite your mates too (you can simply share the event publicly via the _share_ button on the top) ... it's going to be a 24 hrs event and will be on-air ... the more the merrier ... ;-) ...﻿
*so, what's planned? ...*
i want this event to be spectacular ... to achieve this we'll need some help from you guys ... it is supposed to be a 24 hrs event (since we want to be sure we won't miss the end of the world) and we need to fill it with some action ... i was thinking about live music, among other things ... when i discussed this party with +Ryan Van Sickle quite some time ago (no, this idea is not new) he generously offered to play for us ... he can't play 24 hrs though ... only +Daria Musk can do that ... ;-) ... we therefore need musicians all over the world, who will play for us in their timezone ... i would also like other stuff, so if there are artists out there who'd like to contribute, you are more than welcome ... magicians? ... dancers? ... cultural stuff? ... if you have what it takes and would like to participate, please let me know in a comment! ... also if you have any ideas on how to make this event a day to remember (wait! ... who's going to remember it after the end of the world?), please let us know! ...
i will regularly update this event, to let you guys know how the whole thing is progressing ... stay tuned to this frequency! ...
greez,
+Jens Graikowski ...

I don't often share press articles about our products – they rarely seem to say much of use – but this was just such a good case of a journalist Getting It Right that I had to share. Google+ is very much alive, and our recent changes are focused on making it be the best product it can be for what it's best at: helping people meet people and have great conversations about things they're passionate about.

One particularly noteworthy thing in this article is its discussion of the "majority illusion:" people tend to assume that their friends are typical of the wider world, but almost by definition they aren't – for one thing, they all have one uncommon attribute in common, which is being your friend in the first place. And since people don't choose their friends randomly from the entire spectrum of humanity, one's friends are always a distorted sample.
